In reply to the discussion: Steve Schmidt calls for 'venomous and dangerous' Rupert Murdoch to be stripped of US citizenship [View all]soldierant
(6,785 posts)and I'm telling the story from memory, but trying to stick to what I remember as being factual. My memory isn't bad bur it'snot perfect by any peans.
Dude was a former Nazi (I think an official of some kind) who had lied about his past to obtain US citizenship, and IIRC te lying was the cause of his being stripped of it. We (speaking as the US gevenment) wanted to deport him but Germany would not accept him and there was no other country available. Also IIRC, the story became public (again?) when he died, so it's not a present issue.
But if I do remember correctly, the story would suggest that ordinary crimes cimmitted by natiralized citizen are addressed by the American criminal justice system ... although I suppose sedit oin and treason might also lead there - or sedition anyway - we hang traitors, I think.
